Awaken Perimenopause in Person Retreat

Awaken Perimenopause
A 2-Day Immersive Retreat for an intimate circle of Women

Perimenopause is more than hormones.

It is a whole-body transition.

Perhaps you've noticed changes in your sleep, energy, mood, weight, cycles, or capacity to cope with stress.

Perhaps you're doing all the things you've always done, yet your body seems to be asking for something different.

Perimenopause can feel confusing, frustrating, and at times overwhelming.

But what if your body isn't failing?

What if it's asking for a new relationship with nourishment, rest, movement, stress, and self-care?

Awaken Perimenopause is a two-day retreat designed to help you understand what is happening, reconnect with your body's wisdom, and leave with practical tools to support yourself through this transition.

This is not simply a workshop about hormones.

It is an opportunity to understand the whole woman.

Why This Retreat Is Different

  • Castor Oil Packs
  • Nervous System Restoration
  • Family Constellation Exploration
  • Female Anatomy Health
  • Meditation & Integration
  • Community Connection

During these two days we combine:

Most perimenopause programs focus on symptoms. We focus on the whole system, because hormones do not exist in isolation.

Like many women on a spiritual path, I searched for answers through teachings, systems, practices, and the wisdom of those who seemed to know more than I did. At the same time, I experienced something I couldn't easily explain.

IYour digestive system, stress levels, nervous system, relationships, movement patterns, nutrition, and emotional wellbeing all influence how this transition is experienced.

  • Anatomy & Physiology
  • Hormonal Health
  • Herbal Support
  • Digestive Health & Metabolism
  • Exercise & Weight Changes
  • Abdominal Self Care Massage

This retreat blends science, body wisdom, practical tools, and lived experience in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Our intention is simple: To help you feel informed, empowered, supported, and connected to yourself.

My passion is creating safe spaces where women can slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and discover that perimenopause is not something to fear, but a powerful invitation to return home to themselves. Read more...

My Mentor Gloria…
she took my hand when I was disoriented and fearful… I was not living. It has been a long journey, with joy and glory, from the outside to the inside, to rebirth myself, to see, to 'feel' what was in my heart, in my soul…to recuperate the equilibrium and the nourishment that gives your life back… that gives a meaning of life back…. Thank you Gloria.
